About the artists

Elena about Terrill:

There are few impressionist painters nowadays in whom the original creative impulse of Impressionism is so alive and powerful as in Terrill Welch — the sheer joy and grace of moment-to-moment fluid interconnectedness, beyond the bounds of conventional “reality”, filled with light, and colour, and space.

Terrill about herself:

Stripping away the human illusion of our separation from nature is at the core of my work. The paintings are an invitation to join me in examining the interdependent relationships between land, water and sky and ourselves

Terrill about Elena:

Through sheer strength of her observation, the abstraction in Elena Maslova-Levin’s work is as much poetry as it is painting. There is a fullness on the canvas that goes far beyond what we see, connecting us to more than what we thought we knew.

Elena about herself:

Plein air painting is my practice of presence, of being truly alive in the here and now. I stand in awe before the paradox of the ever-present fleetingness of life and its profound timelessness. The landscapes are a celebration of this paradox.
